Abstract: A windable substrate (2) is transported to a substrate carrier (40) and wound thereon. To this end the substrate (2) is first held in a defined storage position. In this storage position the substrate carrier (40) is moved into a threading position (407) and brought into engagement with the substrate. The substrate is then automatically threaded around the substrate carrier (40). After completion of the threading operation, the substrate carrier (40) is moved into a winding position (406) in which the substrate (2) is wound onto the substrate carrier (40). The advance rate with which the substrate (2) is motor-driven to the substrate carrier (40) is controllable. The substrate carrier (40) is motor-driven in a controllable manner, specifically with uniform torque and in dependence on the advance rate with which the substrate (2) is transported to the substrate carrier (40). After completion of the winding operation, the substrate (2) is cut off and the substrate end forming part of the reel is automatically fixed on the reel, whilst the other substrate end is again held in the defined storage position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The brewing device comprises a brewing cylinder (9) having a cylindrical bore (10) in which a lower plunger (8) is arranged so as to be freely movable and longitudinally displaceable. An upper plunger (7) is firmly connected to a frame (1). Parallel to the vertically arranged brewing cylinder (9) there is a drive spindle (6) which has guiding means (23). A carrier member (24) connected to the brewing cylinder has further guiding means (25) which are engaged with those of the drive spindle (6). By rotating the drive spindle (6) in one direction or the other, the brewing cylinder is moved upwards or downwards. The brewing cylinder is filled with ground coffee via a funnel (12) which can be pivoted out. In order to determine the quantity of ground coffee contained, the brewing cylinder is moved upwards under time control, at least until a counter force produced by the upper plunger (7) over the compressed ground coffee is as great as the driving force of the spindle. In order to allow the preferred brewing of loose ground coffee, the brewing chamber formed between the two plungers (7, 8) is slightly enlarged again before the actual brewing operation. The device is distinguished particularly by its simple construction with few parts subject to wear, the simple construction being enhanced by the omission of limiting switches as a result of the complete time control of the drive spindle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a sheet feeder device including means for supporting a generally vertical stack of sheets. The supporting means include endless belts having an upper belt run position to extend across the bottom of the stack of sheets. A stationary gate forming member is provided which is positioned above the upper run of the belts and adjacent the forward side of the stack to define a nip which forms a gap between the gate forming member and the upper run for permitting the lowermost sheet of the stack to pass forwardly from the stack through the nip. The gate forming member is a cylindrical roll defining a central axis and an outer peripheral surface which is concentric to the central axis. The roll has a groove extending axially along the length thereof. An elastomeric bar is disposed in the groove, and the bar has a coefficient of friction which is higher than that of the material of the roll. Also, the bar is sized so as to extend radially beyond the peripheral surface. This portion of the bar includes a rearwardly facing edge surface which extends generally along a tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the roll. In operation, the lowermost sheet is fed by the endless belts through the nip without engaging the bar and without significant frictional resistance, while the sheet immediately above the lowermost sheet engages the bar and is retarded in its advance by its engagement with the material of the bar.

Abstract: A process for producing a transgenic mammal, especially a mouse which contains and expresses a heterologous gene, especially the human insulin hormone gene. The insulin gene is expressed only in the pancreas of the transgenic mouse and is regulated by glucose, glucagon, or other insulin affectors in a manner which is indistinguishable from that of normal mice. Progeny of the transgenic mice inherit the human insulin gene in a Mendelian manner, with approximately 50% of the mice of each litter expressing the human insulin gene. The weights of the transgenic mice, growth rate, feeding behavior, reproductive capability, and longevity appear indistinguishable from normal mice. The mice are useful for studies of pharmacokinetics of insulin expression and for investigations of possible drug interactions with glucose homeostasis.
